Stellar Guard Play on Display at Loyola Elite Camp

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Loyola women's basketball staff opened their doors for their second Elite Camp of the season, and they attracted talent from as far away as Michigan. Players are taking the month of August and the camp offerings as a way to get some additional exposure before the fall. Check out some of the guards who really came to compete and turn some heads. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559035' first='Kayla' last='Navarro'], New Jersey Gemz, 2026, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1281640,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/20250802_141511-rotated-crop-1836x1206-1754539517.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1281640" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smooth lefty lead guard with a solid handle. Kayla made some highlight reel moves with tricky dribbles and counters. She scored from all three levels and whipped some nice passes to her teammates. I enjoyed watching her play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='839287' first='Laila' last='Morgan'], St. Timothy's, 2027, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1281645,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/20250802_141754-rotated-crop-1836x1206-1754539704.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1281645" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Laila really came to compete and was getting after it on defense. She got into her stance and used her quickness and footwork to turn ballhandlers back and forth. On offense she showed off her jumper, knocking down a couple of threes. Good showing on the day for her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Leyana Neymer, 1Nation Elite, 2027, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1281654,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/20250802_142028-rotated-crop-1836x1206-1754539891.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1281654" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leyana is a lead guard with some serious ball handling skills. She got wherever she wanted to go all day as she aced the drills and dominated in the scrimmages. She has a nasty pull up jumper and an aggressive scoring mentality so she was a handful for defenders all day. Very fun player to watch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='842191' first='Trinity' last='Holloway'], [program_tooltip program_id='815866' first='Team' last='Durant'], 2028, Point Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trinity plays with an edge and her motor is always turned up. She has really improved her shooting and has mastered the mid-range area. She won the free throw shooting contest by making all of her attempts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ka'nai Pyatt, Team Thrill, 2027, Guard </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was a nice outing for Ka'nai. She showed off her ability to create space and knock down shots, but also delivered some nice passes. She competed hard on defense and did a good job on the boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
